Haruhi Suzumiya Anime Officially Posted in English subs on YouTube

Even though it's only for this week and 8 episodes, this is a very surprising move from Kadokawa Anime.

I know what they're trying to do, get you to empathise with Nagato, but this is just annoying. Two was bad enough, but this is getting beyond the joke.

I know Disappearance is a long way off, but honestly, there's lots of other short stories that they could've used to fill the space that this is taking up.

This series can go f*** itself. What an entire waste of my time this episode was. Tell me, just WHAT DID THIS EPISODE ACHIEVE THAT THE LAST EPISODE DIDNT??!?!?! This episode showed NOTHING new. 100% nothing new!!!!!! F*** YOU HARUHI!!

edit-
ok seriously, what the hell is this series about? are the novels just wasted potential? i know the author hasn't worked on the next volume in many years now. So maybe even he has given up? why create a story that cant possibly fail and yet not even have what it takes to create something amazing?!

This series is acting like the calm before a storm, but without a storm on the horizon. I'm expecting epic time travel related stories, god related stories, reasons for life and death stuff, life in death stories, all sorts of ideas all for this one anime/novel series, but its not delivering!

whats worse, its boring!!

[Dechan]

Well the thing is, Disappearance is a pretty goddamn good story, they just seem to be wasting episodes on a story that was the same length as the baseball story. The only thing I can think of is that they enjoy torturing us.

I haven't started S2 yet. Can anyone explain what is so angering about it? D:

I am wondering the same thing, but at least when I watch them I can go into them blissfully ignorant of the original story material. However, filler is filler, and if they are shitting out filler at the very beginning of the new season, that does not bode well.

In my opinion, the novels were truly great and in theory they would make an absolutely great anime. Somehow they skip over the really good stories, mix up the chronological order for some reason and tone everything down to make a really boring series.
It seems like all they focus on are backgrounds and paying for Aya Hirano - whose voice acting i don't really like. I don't like how they downplay violent or meaningful scenes with the background music either. Plus, having conversations which take up most of the screen time makes for an anime I wouldn't watch more than twice.

So, for the short version - it's a anime made from a riveting book which only used the material which couldn't possibly fail. The problem with that is this: The show treats itself like it the best thing ever and doesn't try to gain affection. The fans just play into it. In truth - just read the books.
The only reason I would watch is to visually see how some scenes play out.

[Dechan]

That's the thing though, Disappearance is ideal for anime, and should be really exciting, but we're being delayed by them playing out episode after episode of Endless Eight.

Ever see that movie with Bill Murry, "Groundhog Day"? Season two episodes 2 to 4 (Endless Eight) are basically the same idea here..

[Spoiler Alert!] (in a nutshell) -
Haruhi unconsciously creates a time loop because she's somehow feeling unfulfilled from her two weeks of Summer vacation. Despite doing everything she wanted with her friends, it's just not quite enough. August 17th to the 31st repeat over and over creating an endless Summer. Yuki is the only one who remembers every bit of this phenomenon. But from episode 3, Kyon is getting a lot of deja vu happening and finally is made to realize that he somehow has the power to alter this time loop from repeating further - He just needs to finally do it.
[/End Spoiler Alert!]

Geeze.... gods are certainly troublesome at times, huh?
